You can kill someone from a thousand meters away, and the power is so terrifying, how can you fight this battle?
The governor and many generals were killed. Who will take command?
At this moment, the Yuanzhou defenders were stunned, stupid, and confused.
All of them stood on the spot, motionless, their minds went blank, they were all shocked.
Qin Huaidao did not order to continue the bombardment, nor did he send troops to take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Instead, he gave the Yuanzhou defenders time to digest what had happened. The soldiers could not figure it out, but no one asked more questions and they all waited patiently.
The gentle breeze blows away the murderous intention.
But it could not dispel the panic in the hearts of the Yuanzhou defenders.
Not long after, the remaining generals of Yuanzhou gathered together to discuss countermeasures. After the death of the commander-in-chief Li Yuanyi, the group was without a leader. Where to go became everyone's top priority.
A school captain said: "Everyone, the governor and several generals died in battle, who are we fighting for?"
The words made everyone more and more confused and confused.
As long as the governor is here, the soldiers will have a place to eat food and receive pay. Now that the governor is dead in battle, who will provide food and pay for the soldiers? The court?
The court will only punish everyone for failing to protect the governor, and even put them in jail.
According to the military regulations of the imperial court, once the governor dies, everyone has only two choices. One is to take advantage of the chaos to escape and return to his hometown to hide his name. The other is to select a person in charge and lead everyone to fight to the end to save Yuanzhou and atone for their sins. Perhaps the imperial court will see
Save everyone's life for their merits, and don't even think about rewards.
The question is can it be beaten?
Who has the ability to convince the crowd and lead everyone to survive?
Everyone looked at the large black army outside the city, feeling unsure of themselves.
At this time, a person said angrily: "The king of Han is benevolent and righteous, and his love for his soldiers is known all over the world. Who do we soldiers work for without selling our lives? The imperial court moved its capital to Luoyang, so it was obviously unbeatable. Moreover, the current emperor killed his father to seize the throne, and he was not in the right position.
, the cruel and ruthless people will definitely not forgive us for our incompetence in protecting the governor, so we might as well go to the King of Han."
"Yes, you can still live by taking refuge with the King of Han." Someone agreed.
His words made everyone start to feel excited.
Resistance is a dead end, and once the key commander dies, you don't know who to fight for? Why to fight?
"Yes, open the city gate and surrender to the King of Han!"
"I heard that Duke Wei, Duke Lu and others all voted for the King of Han, so we will vote too."
"The King of Han is benevolent and will not treat us unfairly."
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and a consensus was quickly reached.
Soon, the order was passed on, and the soldiers at the bottom were even less willing to fight. After receiving the order, they put down their weapons one after another. They felt inexplicably relieved. It was really the Hanzhou Army outside the city that put too much pressure on everyone.
Soon, three captains were elected as representatives and came out of the city.
Qin Huaidao looked at the three people who came over and smiled. He had calculated everything by himself and said to Luo Wu: "Bring this person here and don't humiliate him. From now on, he will all be his own."
"ah?"
Everyone was startled, then suddenly reacted, and their eyes lit up.
Xue Rengui said sincerely: "King of Han, subjugate the enemy's troops without fighting, this is the strategy on the mountain!"
"We are all from the Tang Dynasty, and we have no grudges. There is no need to fight with life or death. What we have to deal with is Li Tai and some of the aristocratic families who support Li Tai. They are not innocent soldiers." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"The King of Han is so righteous, my subordinates should be taught!"
Everyone said one after another, knowing that this was the guideline for future battles, and secretly noted it down.
Not long after, three captains came forward and saluted solemnly: "I am humble enough to see the King of Han!"
"Without courtesy, what are you doing here?" Qin Huaidao asked knowingly.
"We are willing to surrender, and I beg the King of Han to take us in!" said an older captain.
"The three of you can't bear the destruction of Yuanzhou. You are sensible and aware of the general situation. I am very pleased. That's right!" Qin Huaidao is in a good mood. Taking Yuanzhou without spending a single soldier will be of great help to the next battle. Naturally, he should treat him kindly.
Maybe everyone in the Yuanzhou garrison and the city behind would follow suit, wouldn't it be nice?
Thoughts flashed, Qin Huaidao looked at Xue Rengui: "Brother Xue, before your city garrison is fully established, the Yuanzhou garrison will be handed over to you. I will give you one day to keep the elite and repatriate the others. Open the Yuanzhou warehouse and repatriate."
Those who do not want to be deported will be left behind to open up wasteland and cultivate the land, become common people, and arrange a regiment to stay behind."
"Yes!" Xue Rengui was overjoyed and quickly agreed and hurried away.
Qin Huaidao looked at the three captains and asked with a smile: "Is this arrangement good?"
"The King of Han is benevolent and righteous. I humbly serve as the garrison of Yuanzhou to thank the King of Han!" The senior captain quickly saluted excitedly.
Recruitment means that you can continue to be a soldier without being treated badly. Those who don't want to leave will also receive a ten-guan silver subsidy, which is enough to make the rest of their lives worry-free. They can stay even if they don't want to be a soldier. This arrangement is simply impeccable.
"I really want to thank you. Why don't you ask the people in the city to prepare some food and send it to you? Anything is fine, as long as you can eat it. Of course, I will give you money?" Qin Huaidao said with a smile. The army came from afar and they all had empty stomachs.
"I'll make arrangements right away." The three of them agreed quickly and hurried away.
"The army will camp where it is and rest for a day." Qin Huaidao ordered the generals.
"Follow the order!"
The army quickly took action, took down the tents on horseback and began to set up. The Jin Yiwei also sent people to disperse to conduct surveillance in all directions to ensure that nothing was missed.
Not long after, a guard in golden clothes came on horseback, rushed to Qin Huaidao, quickly reined in his horse and stopped, clasping his fists and saying: "I report to the King of Han that I found General Luo Ying with many family members."
"Luo Ying, let him come over." Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up.
Not long after, Luo Ying came in a hurry.
Qin Huaidao couldn't help but ask: "Is things going smoothly? Why did it take so long?"
Luo Ying looked around, stepped forward, and whispered: "Uncle, after I took my brothers to Luoyang to lurk, I found that the imperial army blocked the surrounding mountain passes, making it difficult for the team to pass quietly. It took a lot of time, and in addition
There were a lot of rescuers needed, so they didn't dare to bring them all out at once, so they had to divide them into batches. Finally, they found that Zhang Xuan and Chu Zhuliang didn't come out, so they waited a few more days and were delayed. Fortunately, it went smoothly.
"
"As long as it goes well, Zhang Xuan and Chu Zhuliang are also willing to surrender?" Qin Huaidao was a little nervous. These two people are also famous in history and have outstanding talents. He was overjoyed and asked: "Why are you here?"
"I was lurking in the nearby woods with my men, looking for an opportunity to leave without alerting the Yuanzhou garrison. Unexpectedly, my uncle happened to lead troops over. Now, I don't have to hide in Tibet anymore." Luo Ying explained happily.
Qin Huaidao thought for a while and warned: "It's safe to go to Longyou Road. Arrange a battalion to escort everyone back to Hanzhou. You take the remaining people back to Luoyang and be sure to rescue the two ministers Zhang Xuan and Chu Zhuliang. These two people have great power."
Talent is of great use in the local governance of Hanzhou and cannot be missed."
"Follow the order!" Luo Ying solemnly clasped her fists.
"Go find the logistics baggage to replenish some ordnance supplies."
"Do you want to meet the rescued officials?" Luo Ying reminded.
Qin Huaidao thought for a while and found out that it was unjustifiable for everyone to risk their lives and risk their lives to join him. He immediately agreed: "When the army settles down, Yuanzhou will send us food and we will meet each other. Let's have a light meal together to help everyone.
You go and make arrangements."
"Understood!" Luo Ying cupped his fists and saluted, and hurried away.
